Doyle New York, located at 175 East 87th St., New York City, is offering 460 lots of furniture, decorations, paintings, costume designs, memorabilia and more, that belonged to the late opera singer, Beverly Sills (1929-2007).
Included is a quilt that was given to her by the San Diego Opera Guild on May 26, 1979. The fifteen quilt block feature images of women, dressed in various gowns, who represent operatic roles performed by Sills over the span of her career. The quilt measures 7′ 6″ x 4′ 2 1/2″. The back is inscribed with friendly notations and member signatures and was presented in honor of her birthday.
The following image was sent by a representative of Doyle New York. You can see that the quilt was actually “quilted.” Lovely tribute!
